Look man, there is no tribe called South South or Niger Delta and the Nigerian constitution does not recognize anything called South South or South Eaat

The fact is that most Igbos saw Jonathan as a brother and supported him, regardless

If any tribe does not see Igbos as brothers, fairplay, it is not by force

In life, you stay close to those who are down with you, turn your back on those who are not down with you

Life goes on

Captain8:
but, the indigenous people like the name and name it upon themselves and enforced it,,,so the name stands without shaking,,,,if you ibo youths think you can enforced eastern region on us,,, what then are you people waiting for?

You said we shouldn't called ourselves the niger delta or South south since 2017, but here we are, still answering the name,,,by now, I expect you people to start taking action on us..

Captain8:
how are we brothers?
Can you tell us who gave birth to us?
don't forget to tell us where were born to?
You igbos are making it difficult for us like you, because you lie alot... Simple word like neighbors and you saying brothers.

We are nobody brothers

limeta:
Who made you south south spoke person
You live in South south a long time dont make you indigenous person
Ondo is a yoruba land which makes you yoruba person pls dont get it twisted .
We wont let that nonsense happen again .

gidgiddy:
The indigenous people never named themselves South/South or Niger Delta, these are names imposed on them just like the name Nigeria was imposed on us all. If they want to call themselves North-North or West-West, fine, it still won't mean anything

At the end of the day, Nigeria is made of tribes that the British brought together, and tribes we will remain, regardless of imposed or adopted names

Check any thread where there's an argument pertaining Obi's obvious emergence as the president of Nigeria, it is always mostly between Igbos going against yorubas/hausas. Other regions are always silent and rarely come to the defense of the pro Obi Igbos

Now compare it to GEJ's era. Igbos also came all out for Jonathan, supported him both on and offline thereby making themselves enemies of yorubas/hausas.

Igbos were even more vocal and in the front line during Jonathan's era and took all the ferocious bullets and bullying meant for the Ijaws/SS/ Niger Delta.
Igbos did all these in the spirit of brotherhood and fair play.

Now an Igbo man is in the hot seat. Our Ijaw neighbours are near- silent. The battle has been left for the Igbos alone to fight.
Just a few SS are vocal enough in their support for Obi.

Let us all try to be our brother's keepers. We have a common enemy which is the APC

Captain8:
I repeat, how are we brothers?
Answer me.

You can't claimed I am your brother all the but not telling me how I became your brother?

for, your information,,,I am not speaking for the whole niger delta, but I am speaking for my Ijaw....because I am the one of the eyes of Ijaw on nairaland...it is my duty to asked anything related to Ijaw..

If you cannot explain to me how Ijaw and igbo become brothers then from now on stopped using the phrase, Ijaws are our brothers, henceforth.

limeta:
Here we go ijaw
Who is brother to ijaw land grabber
Who need them

NigerianAngelo:
If it's Igbos in Rivers/Delta or Efik (Akwa Ibom / Calabar), they have been defending.

If it's Ijaws? 50% pagan, 10% idle, 30% militant... don't ever think of them. They are water water people.

Goodluck wasn't Ijaw. He's from Otuoke ("One portion" in Igbo), a side that is about 1.8% of Bayelsa. Likewise Alison Madueke and co. Igbo tribe is larger than you thought.

Captain8:
do you know meaning of landgrab?
igbos are the best landgrabbers in the world..ibos that said the whole niger delta is biafra..

limeta:
Yes of cause in Edo state

dmz1:
I think it is in the nature of Igbos to champion the case of the persecuted and defend the weak and defenceless. It usually gets them into trouble in Nigeria but they always persist instead of learning their lessons.
It may emnates from their culture that generally abhors injustice.

shortIGBOman:
The truth is that, Nobody or group likes IGBO. Even IGBO People dont like themselves. This is just the plain truth.

Captain8:
which people in edo grab whose people's land?

undisputedKOC:
God punish you and your generations for mentioning the great Ijaw tribe in your market square madness. The Ijaw nation can never ever support your cocaine trafficking evil tribe now not then, not now, not ever. We are just neighbors by chance and there's no brotherhood between us. You Igbos are just a necessary evil we share a country with.

Do you think we have forgotten what your evil tribe did to Niger Delta minorities during the Eastern region when you had regional power? Do you think we have forgotten the oppression, or is it the rape and carnage Igbo soldiers carried out across the Eastern region against minority tribes during the civil war?

You must be totally mad. Today the tables have changed you are crying wolf. Ijaws are now majority while you are minority. Do you think we are foolish and don't know your quest for power is to subjugate and oppress all other tribes? Ijaw nation will never support Igbos - Never!

The Ijaw nation and majority of Niger Delta are throwing our weight behind Tinubu presidency. Yoruba people are 1 million times better than you Igbos that are true snakes. You didn't support GEJ because you liked us Ijaws. You supported because he was very liberal to Igbos and allowed you to corner all the mighty positions in his cabinet. The hatred GEJ suffered was because of you people.

After Tinubu finish his term and power returns to the North, when it is time for power to return to the South, it will be the turn of the Ijaw nation again because our blessed son GEJ didn't complete his 8 years. We have not forgotten.

franchasng:
Just as most countries hate USA for no good reason, the world envy brave, success-driven and resilient people, it is a known fact.

shortIGBOman:
All IGBO need to see this. This is how every South South person feel about IGBO. Una own too much for this our beautiful Country. Una don create too many enemies.

kk2027:
Most Nigerians, irrespective of tribe are supporting Peter Obi

Personally Im not cut out for all that tribalism stuff

My pastor spoke loud and clear that a sick country cannot be handed to a sick president.

Why should any sane person vote balabu because of tribe

If PYO was on the ballot, we would've considered but not gazelle gagaraga

Ekpeitit:
The problem with Igbo people is that they think other tribes are stupid when in the real sense,it is the other way around. You say you want SS to vote for an Igbo man,so you're saying that Okoya is not a real Igbo man because he is from Delta?
If Atiku becomes president isn't that a route for Okoya to become president?
South South states prefer PDP,I'm sure the Igbos have enough votes to elect Peter Obi as president, you don't need the votes of the South South people that you were insulting and calling lazy only 5 months ago.

omonnakoda:
You are correct
Mmong people always vote Fulani
Boyboy is in their DNA
They are good houseboys

beejaay:
Olodo which greater people abeg.. Where are the greatest people?? No great people will support someone with everything questionable about his past and life from childhood, parenthood, education background, career life, finances and even family life everything is scam.. Great people are wise and don't follow scams like us o make u scatter for road abeg

Captain8:
Ijaws are not with obi

Ofodirinwa:
He can still win Bayelsa then

Mfetenang:
I am Ibibio and I can tell you with confidence that Akwa Cross has always voted a Hausa Fulani candidate going
back to the days of NPN,NRC and now PDP and they will be voting PDP.If you doubt me please save this post and come back and argue with me after the elections since you think you know what other tribes are thinking more than the tribes themselves. Your chances of producing an Igbo president is zero.
Maybe you can tell me the last time the minorities of the South South voted for an Igbo presidential candidate, go back to Azikiwe of NPP and Ojuwku of APGA.
By the way,there's no tribe in the South South known as Igbos,so you're definitely not from the South South if your tribe is known as Igbo.
Your abusive language in your previous post is probably the number one reason no other tribe in this country will vote for you, maybe it's a good idea to start building bridges instead of insulting other tribes all the time and then expecting them to vote for you. Democracy is about choice and interest,everyone has the right to vote or not vote for who they like or don't like. In our case,I'm very confident that majority of the South South states will be won by PDP,and I'm not saying that ATIKU will win the presidential election,I'm talking about who will win the South South specifically.SEE YOU AFTER THE ELECTION RESULTS ARE ANNOUNCED.
